No, Most passes are valid to activate for 11 months from purchase date so last activation for that would be November 8 2025.
Your best option is to exchange for a new pass, the cost is €15 to exchange.

9 November (exactly 11 months after purchase), but that doesn't make much difference of course. Last day of the validity period would be 8 December.

sounds great, but, what if i buy the pass in a discount period? and now it’s in the original price, with no discount?

In that case the new pass will be more expensive.
You don’t have to exchange now, you can wait and see if another discount is offered.
Unfortunately you have just missed a discount that closed earlier this month but there is often one at the same time you purchased last year, end of November/December.
Also important for refunds and exchanges are the conditions of use in force at the time of purchase. In this case, that's version 11 available here. Refunds and exchanges were still possible no later than 6 months after the last possible activation date, so no later than 9 March 2026.
